What is Success?
Success is reaching goals that you set for yourself. That is it.
Nobody can know success without setting goals. Success is a measurement. If you don’t know how to measure it you will never be successful.
Success is different for everyone. It is only important for you to know know what your success is. That means that you have to set goals for yourself and not compare yourself to others. Comparing yourself to others is a sure way to disappointment. They are simply not you. You need to know you, and worry about you.
The only way to be unsuccessful is to have no goals. Unfortunately many people go through life without direction, without goals. They whine and complain about how their life is unfulfilling, but they do not have a direction. Do you want success? Then you need a direction.
But is not reaching goals unsuccessful? No! If you do not reach a goal that is OK. You simply change the time frame. The only other way to be unsuccessful is to quit. Quitters are never successful.
There are a few things that we need to learn about setting goals. It is difficult to do without some practice but to set goals properly we have to set big goals that are still realistic. I will talk more about that later.
So can you be successful? Do you know hot to measure it? Do you have goals that you are working toward? What are you focusing on?
